Virtual EpiPen Training
Event Information
About this Event
With an estimated 10% of children suffering from allergies, it’s advisable that staff know:
what to do in the event of an anaphylactic reaction and how to administer an EpiPen correctly.
Epi-pens and other Adrenaline auto-injector devices are designed to be easy to use, but despite this, 4 out of 5 people who have one don’t use it correctly.
Designed specifically for parents, teachers, sports clubs and other childcare providers, our 2 hour workshop aims to:
• Empower teachers and other school personnel with knowledge of the signs, symptoms & causes of anaphylaxis so they can act quickly & assist effectively in the event of an emergency.
• Help identify ways to reduce risk & create an allergy aware school.
• Demonstrate correct use of adrenaline injectors and inhalers.
